I've attempted several times to get off the junk on my own with very limited and short lived periods of success. The longest time I've managed to stay clean/sober was around 70 days. That's since leaving the Navy in March of 2010. I think it's because every other time I tried my heart was never truly in it 100%. This time is different though. I've pulled out all the stops. I've started a methadone maintenance program where I also meet with a counselor once a week, will be attending a minimum of two NA meetings weekly, I'll be returning to good healthy habits that made me happy before the drugs (karate, rollerblading, snowboarding, etc), and I'll also be seeing a personal substance abuse counselor once a week. My new and final clean date is tomorrow July 12, 2016 and I'll be tracking my progress on here during this first month.
